This was a great six-hour tour. The fast ferry from Skagway to Haines was absolutely beautiful. I saw three impressive waterfalls and learned the story of how glaciers carved the deepest and longest Fjord (Lynn Canal) in North America. The Tongass National Forest was a beautiful contrast to the vivid water color. Christian was an excellent guide, and I immensely enjoyed learning Tlingit culture, bird identification and a unique feature of each bird’s ability, and hearing entertaining Alaska stories. We saw tons of eagles and ate a scrumptious picnic lunch overlooking Chilkoot Lake. Fish were jumping, and birds were putting on a show the whole time. We had time for a quick driving tour of Fort Seward. I love history and enjoyed that. Then, it was time to board the fast ferry for the ride back to Skagway. I highly recommend Christian and this tour for an awesome time in Haines.
